Introducing undergraduate students to Islamic law, this accessible
textbook does not presume legal or technical knowledge. Drawing on
a comparative approach, it encourages students to think through the
issues of the application of Islamic law where Muslims live as a
majority and where they live as a minority, including the USA,
Saudia Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan. The book surveys the historical
development as well as the contemporary contexts of Islamic law. In
distilling the history of Islamic law for non-specialists, the
author covers important topics such as the development and
transformation of Islamic institutions before and after
colonialism. Coverage of Islamic law across contemporary contexts
draws on real case material, and allows for discussion of Islam as
a legal and a moral code that is activated both inside and outside
the court. Readers will learn about rituals, dietary restrictions,
family, contracts and property, lawful and unlawful gain, criminal
law and punishments, and what makes a government legitimate in the
eyes of Muslim individuals and authorities.
